But Pizzolito, who was quickest HRC more than once is down in the 30s. Honda really isn't the shining beacon of reliability and regularity this year.

Was really surprised to see them slammed in the Dakar.com summary, calling this year a "flop" for them. Could be a translation nuance, but that's pretty harsh language from the ASO marketing department!
